Andy McGonagle is the Ibrahimovic of Ballyliffin GC!

Another busy weekend of golf in Ballyliffin with a mixed bag of weather all was missing was a plague of locusts.

The Friday Open was won by Anthony McEleney [13] with 36pts. It was a three way break of tie with John Gibbons [10]in 2nd place also with 36pts. In 3rd place Daniel McAteer [11] also had 36pts.

The Saturday Open was on the Glashedy course and coming out on top was 12 handicapper Graeme Anderson[12 with 39pts. In second place was Jimmy Clancy back again with 39pts also.

Third place went to one of the up and coming talents here Padraig Porter [15] with 38pts. Ryan Doherty[5] took 4th with 37pts beating me on the break of a tie, damned unsporting I say no respect for age at all. The Gross went to 1 handicapper Stephen Martin with 34 gross pts.

The Sunday Confined on The Old Course was dogged by bad weather but it didn’t seem to matter to David Rankin[13] who returned 40pts to take 1st place.

The Isle Of Doagh man was back for his weekly voucher Seamus Gordon[16] took 2nd spot with 39pts. Liam Doherty[t][13] struck a blow for the afternoon men taking 3rd with 34pts. Ryan Doherty[5] was back for a 2nd day taking the Gross with 33 gross pts.

In the Wednesday Society, Andy McGonagle seems to improve like his hero Ibrahimovic with age taking top place with 40pts. In second place was the Boss man Martin Boyle with 39pts. In 3rd place was Seamus Gordon with 38pts.

Looking at the results it seems Brendan Devlin can’t score unless the Captain is by his side, but he was away racking up brownie points by taking Aine to the rugby match in Dublin. Happy Golfing.
